Singlespeed & Fixed Gear"I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five.
Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

(Yes, I searched and found nothing much on the velo aero+dimension combo )

I've narrowed my wheel choices down to two, surprisingly.

Choice #1:Mavic CXP22 rims laced to Forumla hubs for ~$165 after shipping.Pros:
-I've read many things about the mavic cxp22s being a great, durable rim.
-All black ()
-Slightly cheaper optionCons:
-Online purchase.. still going to have to get it tensioned/trued at LBS for ~$15

I'd say the Mavic with formula would be fine. Honestly Mavic rims are great and the Formula hubs will be just fine. Formula makes a ton of company's hubs. I have a set of Xero Lite XR1 wheels for my single speed bike and found out Formula makes the hubs, and i love them. I'd say save some cash and do the Mavics. I LOVE Velocity, don't get me wrong but you're right i have heard many good things of the Mavic CXP 22 rims.
